On Monday, His Excellency Captain Ibrahim Traoré, President of Burkina Faso, received the President of the Commission of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA), Mr. Abdoulaye Diop, in Ouagadougou. This meeting symbolizes the official recognition by the regional institution of Burkina Faso’s economic performance at a time when the country is navigating significant security and social challenges.

The UEMOA, which comprises eight West African nations, commended the progress achieved by Burkina Faso in key areas such as public financial management, infrastructure modernization, and economic diversification.

These advances align with the bloc’s shared goals of strengthening member states’ resilience in the face of crises.

Mr. Abdoulaye Diop particularly emphasized the importance of the structural reforms undertaken by Ouagadougou, which have helped improve the business climate and attract investment.

Despite ongoing challenges, the economic results of the country are viewed as a positive signal to investors and international partners.

This recognition may open new avenues for cooperation and development, both nationally and regionally.
